For my friend's 6 year old. He and his friends loved it. Each section around the bottom tier represents a stadium (w/ exception of Bowser and Luigi sections) on Baseball Island. When time to cut the cake, the kids were standing around it fighting over who was going to get what piece... that is the reward for enjoying this passion of caking! Thanks for looking.
A practice cake made w/ the help of my 3yr old daughter. She chose polka dots and helped cut out and place. I rushed the bow because she couldn't wait to cut into it. There's no cake w/ simple icing at our house anymore. "I want it decorated w/ fondant." I'm creating a monster. lol Thanks for looking.
A speck of BC shows in this pic, which I cleaned up before taking but unfortunately did not get a pic afterward. This was a joke birthday cake given by co-workers to a diehard WVU fan. There was also a WV cake that is shown in second photo... not presented until after a very awkward moment when he thought someone got it wrong. lol Thanks for looking!
The Marshall University cake in the second picture was the first cake given as a joke - fighting words to a diehard WVU fan. lol After he accepted it very graciously (his co-worker pretended she thought he was a Marshall fan instead and had ordered the wrong thing), the WV cake was presented.
My daughter has been begging for a frog, after seeing some of the recent ones posted. I had leftover cake, BC and MMF, so made a little practice cake for her this evening. She loved it. In looking at the pics, I wish I'd done something more on top to jazz it up a bit, but she was happy.
For a friend's housewarming party (decor yellow and red) - yellow flowers symbolize new beginnings and friendship. Thanks to Edna for the rose tutorial - this was my first set of roses that weren't freehand and I thought they turned out to look so much more real than the way I used to do them. I'll keep practicing. 6" rounds white filled w/ white chocolate ganache and raspberry jam, covered in white chocolate ganach BC and MMF. Roses and leaves are gumpaste. Thanks for looking.
Thanks to other CC'ers for the idea of using a brain w/ cap as a topper. I took it a step further and made it an overloaded smoking brain by using dry ice and a tube running into the side of the brain. In this pic, you can barely see the smoke coming out just over the figure's head. Around the bottom tier, I quoted, Life is a journey, not a destination (one word on each circle.) It was a fun cake and my nephew loved it.
The birthday invitation was inspiration for bottom tier - the skirt of Hannah's dress. The top tier was carved slightly to give subtle topsy turvy look. Each tier is 3 2" layers - 9" bottom and 6" top. Wires are inserted into stirrers - works very well - thanks CC'ers for the tip. I had so much fun w/ this cake. Thanks for looking!
My version of Johnny Tractor for a friend's 3 year old nephew. The trailer was my favorite part of this cake. The crate is gumpaste "glued" together w/ melting chocolate. Inside the crate is the "special delivery" - a toy Johnny Tractor that matches the cake. Used RKT for the tires. Thanks for looking!
Classic white filled w/ CBC covered in BC and MMF.
I made two of these for office birthdays. One was done in lavender and pink and the other was in green and yellow. All MMF, including the "candle".
A simple 6" double layer dark chocolate filled w/ BC and covered in MMF. The rose is gumpaste. Gumpaste bow and MMF dots (made using the tip of a straw).
Birthday cake for a gentleman w/ last name, Buzzard. The cake is classic white filled w/ BC and covered in MMF. Handpainted wood. The bird was sculpted using RKT mixed w/ chocolate clay (recipe found on CC) which formed a nice solid figure to work with. He's covered in MMF. The little hairs sticking out of his head are cut off yellow stamens. The real ones are so darn ugly, I wanted this guy to look a little cartoonish. If to do over, I would be brave and try to have his neck extended and I would have used a larger drum (used what I had on hand and it will make difficult to handle the cake).
